New (to me) cocoa powder!

submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/jordanlund
Trying out this new cocoa powder. It has 4x the fat compared to Hershey’s. 2g per tablespoon compared to 0.5g.
Trying it in my favorite application:
Chocolate Orange Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Float 2 pounds of cream cheese in warm water for 15 minutes.

Mix with 1 1/2 cups of sugar until smooth.

Add 3/4 cup cocoa, 2 tablespoons vanilla, 2 teaspoons orange extract, 1/4 cup Grand Marnier, and 5 eggs. Mix until smooth.

Add an ENTIRE BAG of MINIATURE chocolate chips. IMPORTANT - full size chips won’t melt all the way and leaves a weird texture.

Take a 9" springform pan, spray it with cooking spray, and coat the inside with another 1/4 cup of cocoa powder.

Pour the batter in the pan and bake at 200° F for EIGHT DAMN HOURS.

Cool to room temp, 2+ hours.


Flip upside down onto a plate, remove the pan and refrigerate as long as you can stand it. ;) Colder the better.


Flip right side up onto another plate, garnish with candied orange slices, and serve.
